This product is intended for penile, vaginal and/or anal application to moisturize and lubricate, to enhance the ease and comfort of intimate sexual activity and supplement the body's natural lubrication. This product is compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms. This product is not compatible with polyurethane condoms.
Device Story
KY Grosz Jelly is a water-based personal lubricant for over-the-counter use. It is applied topically to penile, vaginal, or anal areas to provide moisture and lubrication, enhancing comfort during sexual activity. The device is supplied in HDPE/LLDPE tubes with polypropylene caps. It is intended for use by consumers. The lubricant supplements natural body secretions and is compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms, but not polyurethane condoms. Clinical benefit is derived from reduced friction during intimate activity.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only: biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, vaginal irritation, sensitization, acute systemic toxicity per ISO 10993), condom compatibility (ASTM D7661-10), and accelerated aging stability studies.
Technological Characteristics
Water-based lubricant; ingredients: Water, Propylene glycol, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Benzoic acid, Carbomer, Sodium hydroxide. Viscosity: 40,000-100,000 cPs; Osmolality: 780-1180 mOsm/kg; pH: 3.5-4.5. Packaging: HDPE/LLDPE tubes with PP cap. Non-sterile. Microbiological testing per EP 8.0 (comparable to USP <61>, <62>, <51>).
Indications for Use
Indicated for individuals requiring penile, vaginal, or anal lubrication to enhance comfort during sexual activity and supplement natural lubrication. Compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms; contraindicated for use with polyurethane condoms.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A condom is a sheath which completely covers the penis with a closely fitting membrane. The condom is used for contraceptive and for prophylactic purposes (preventing transmission of sexually transmitted infections). The device may also be used to collect semen to aid in the diagnosis of infertility.

# Intended Use and Technological Characteristics of Subject Device Compared to Predicate
The subject and predicate device have identical indications for use statements and have the same intended use.
The subject device and predicate device have different technological characteristics, including a different formulation and different shelf life. The differences in technological characteristics between the subject and predicate devices do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
{6}------------------------------------------------
## Summary of Performance Testing:
Shelf life: KY Grosz Jelly has a shelf-life of 1.5 years (18 months) in accordance with the results of an accelerated aging stability study. Results form testing demonstrated that the device can maintain its specifications (as shown in Table 1) over the duration of its shelf-life.
Biocompatibility: Biocompatibility studies were performed in accordance with the 2016 FDA guidance document "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" and ISO 10993- 1:2009 as follows:
- . Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5: 2009): The subject device test article showed no evidence of causing cell lysis or cytotoxicity to L-929 cells and therefore is not cytotoxic.
- . Vaginal Irritation (ISO 10993-10: 2010): The Irritation Index for the subject device test article was 0. Macroscopically, the vaginal tissue was found to be normal. Therefore, the subject device was considered a non-irritant to vaginal tissue of the rabbit
- . Guinea Pig Maximization Sensitization Test (ISO 10993-10: 2010): The subject device test article solution showed no evidence of causing delayed dermal contact sensitization in the guinea pig. The test article was not considered a sensitizer in the guinea pig maximization test.
- Acute Systemic Toxicity (ISO 10993-11: 2006): There was no mortality or evidence of systemic toxicity for the subject device.
Condom Compatibility: KY Grosz Jelly was tested in accordance with ASTM D7661-10 "Standard Test Method for Determining Compatibility of Personal Lubricants with Natural Rubber Latex Condoms" and was determined to be compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms. It was determined not to be compatible with polyurethane condoms.
Conclusion: The results of the performance testing described above demonstrate that the KY Grosz Jelly is as safe and effective as the predicate device and supports a determination of substantial equivalence.
